You could even use the stock inlet hose or do the Rev210 $5 mod instead of a metal pipe.

I could not make anything over 250rwkw using standard intake with the Rev210 $5 mod. The top half of the dyno was basically a flat line. I would strongly recommend a metal intake pipe, I just finished mine with return ports for both the bov and pcv.

Ok so i bought a bunch of supporting mods for a turbo that didnt perform as expected and basically would have been almost as good without them..

so coupla hypothetical Q..

if i got a gtx3071 with a .6 comp and .82 rear would require a 10mm 0r 20mm manifold spacer?

do they come in 3inch inlet?

which dump/fornt pipe?

will my 2.5 inch cooler pipe be big enough?

last but not least, best place to get one?

Cmon guys tempt me... :devil:

From the advertising pics and blurb I gather you can treat a GTX3071R just like a Garrett GT3076R , the real one , because they appear to use the same compressor housing casting . By this I mean only from a packaging/mounting perspective .

Facts about GT3071R's and HKS "GT2835R's" in all forms .

Believe it or not in current Garrett speak both are called GT3071R because they both have a variation of a GT30 turbine and a 71mm major diameter compressor wheel - 71.1mm actually .

HKS are actually guilty of telling porkies because there is nothing GT28 about these "2835's" from a turbine or housing viewpoint . Actually I'm splitting hairs because many of HKS's GT30 based turbine housings have a T2/T25/T28 (same) sized mounting flange . The exception is the GT Pro S turbine housings fitted to RB spec GT2835 Pro S's and GT3037 Pro S turbochargers .

Another one lost to many is the 35 designation they use for the compressor wheel , again believe it or not Garrett make a large frame plain bearing turbo called from memory a GT3571 - GT35 turbine and 71mm comp for some OE Diesel app . Because they had Garret use this compressor from a "GT35" turbo they call its compressor GT35 as well .

I can only guess that the cropped GT30 turbine they were somehow passing of as "GT28" and the "GT35" compressor were mated together in what is know as a GT25BB center section came out as GT2835R - R as always meaning rolling element or ball bearing . Personal hate is term roller bearing , rollers are NOT spherical and should not be mistaken for ball bearings , annular contact or not .

More confusion with the R exists because HKS had a variation of this turbo called 2835"R" only is this case it meant the larger 90 trim version of the cropped GT30 turbine . The rest of the "2835's" inc the Pro S version use the 84 trim version of the cropped GT30 turbine .

From what I can tell the cropped GT30 turbine was originally a special made for HKS by Garrett though nowdays since these HKS spec cartridges have been around so long anyone can buy them and some of Garrett's range have them standard ie the cropped versions of Garrett's GT3071R's .

I don't have any inside info on the GTX compressor wheels but I can point out a few obvious points on the GTX3071R .

Firstly the pics show the compressor housing to be the port shrouded version of Garrett's T04E housing family AFAIK originally used on the HKS spec GT3037S . In time Garrett sold this turbo themselves as the GT3076R and apart from the turbine housing the only difference was the lack of the bolt in bell mouthed air inlet .

GTX compressor wise Garrett's blurb mentions that they have 11 full height blades which differs from the 71mm GT wheel which has 12 blades all up , 6 full height and 6 lower or splitter blades .

Also note that the GTX3071R and GT3076R use 58 trim compressors and both have port shrouded compressor housings , I think the GTX3582R may be the same deal though using a larger T04S 0.70 A/R port shrouded comp housing .

So all port shrouded with one less and all full height compressor blades and in 58 trim .

The compressor maps look very interesting but as always the proof is what these turbos can deliver in the real world .

My "spin" so far , cheers A .

Hey Disco,

Can you give any advice on what is the better Split Pulse housing out of the 0.78A/R and the 0.82 A/R that are available for the GT30 turbos. This is for a 1.8 litre engine BTW (CA18det).

Cheers

As far as I know Garrett don't make twin entry turbine housings for GT30 series turbochargers , the 0.78 A/R one is intended for GT32 based units and the 0.82 and 1.06 A/R ones advertised in the US are who knows what .

Given a choice at least you know that the Garrett 0.78 one is designed/cast/machined by a turbo manufacturer as original equipment on something - I think a Diesel in that case . People have said that those other things look a little dodgy internally and if they aren't OE on something then they have no performance or manufacturing standards to comply with .

Twin scroll turbine housing when used in higher EGT petrol applications preferably need to be cast in good hi temp capable materials because the divider around the nozzle section is thin and if the material is a bit average in this area heat stress often damages them . The material and manufacturing difficulties is part of the reason why high performance turbine housings can be quite expensive .

Also think outside the square , sometimes other brands of turbos can be a better match for a given application than Garrett .

So, responsive street car dreaming of a HKS2835 on a budget. I'm happy with 250KW, as long as it's reponsive.

What exactly is going to happen if i go external gate with a 0.6 housing on a GTX3071? I am guessing boost control won't be a problem with external gate, and it should be super-responsive otherwise, what's this story with heat etc?

U wouldn't want to run more than about 15psi through the .63 because that's when the backpressure goes a little crazy and heat becomes a problem. U should make 270rwkw on 15 psi anyway so it won't be a problem.

my mate runs GT3082 .63 on 19psi external gate 50mm and makes 290rwkw and its responsive and fast on the street.

Yep u can FORCE the car to make power early but there's a lot of heat and pressure in that exhaust manifold. ESPECIALLY with a GT3082R because u have a huge compressor wheel wanting to keep making power and the turbine half just can't take any more.

The 82mm compressor wheel isn't even in it's sweet spot yet and the GT30 .63 rear end just can't take any more.

If that exact same car had a GTX3071R .82 running the same boost which is a much better match of compressor to turbine, it would make full boost earlier, WAY more torque through the midrange and make more top-end as well.

yeah more then likely would

but its an old setup from like 3yrs ago lol

im just saying this car still feels quick and responsive on the street 4 an older setup.

anymore response and u would feel like your driving a gay stock skyline again..

nothing wrong with powerband from 4-7 i think its near perfect.

Yep that's it. Still lots of fun! I certainly wasn't saying it's bad, just it could be better.

It sure would!

id love to try a new gtx3076r, ive had the old gt3076r.. be interesting 2 try one thats 4 sure

f**k this,

I might be ordering a GTX3071 from RealStreetPerformance today, to go external gate using the modified stock manifold that I0WRB is selling.

I really want response, and my RB has 160km's on it, so although the supporting mods could get me to 300kw, i don't know how far I want to go as it's my daily ride. I'm over lag.

How much real world difference is there in throttle response between the 0.63 and 0.82 housings. Not like for drag off from the lights where you can just dump the clutch at high revs and keep the boost up, but more in situations where i'm powering out of a roundabout or performing clutch-free downshift-less overtaking?

Because if there's not much difference in the real world, i'll play it safe and go the 0.82

These guys are cheaper buy around $300

http://www.turbo-kits.com

They haven't got them listed but they do have access to them. Just send them an email asking for what you want and list what turbine housing your are after (they can supply all the housings that ATP list for example) and they get back to you within 24 hours.

With the 0.78 Twins Scroll housing they gave me a price of US$1429 + Postage.

The 0.63 will get you a lot more response over the 0.82 housing no question. The only downfall is the higher temps if you wish to run higher boost levels and you will most likely not feel the pull all the way to redline.

IMHO the .63 showed its major advantage over the .82 below .63, I have had both and there is no way I'd go with the .63 again. With an old GT3071R I'd consider .63 possibly, but with the extra compressor flow of the GTX3071R I'd go .82.

I read this three times Lith and I am no closer to understanding the first sentence.

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
